Over 94% of nursing home cost are paid for by Medicaid. Finding a Nursing Home that doesn't accept Medicaid is rare. There are a few for folks with money that don't want their elderly living with those on Medicaid and support private Nursing Homes. Tax payers pay for Medicaid and the program is mostly broke.

The freedom to discriminate is essential to personal Liberty. Life in a free country is about being free to make choices based on your own criteria rather then one mandate by the government...Libertarian blogger

as someone whose family used Medicaid recently, the people using it paid into it all those years, its not their fault that those in govt squandered the resources and funded places like Planned Parenthood, programs like Head Start, and other entitlement programs for people that have never paid dime one into the system

We owe our senior citizens the care they deserve, I certainly dont expect it to be there for me, but I do expect it to be there for my siblings that paid into it all those years and are now in their 70's-80's

Tax payers have paid into SS and Medicare, not Medicaid.

OK where would you rather see money go...Planned Parenthood or Medicaid

One can not compared the two. Medicaid is billions in the hole and growing. Planned Parenthood is is less than .1% of our total expenditures! That's less than one-tenth of one percent.

OK : Medicaid or Foreign Aid...either way my views on how we as a nation deal with senior citizens is very fresh on my mind, maybe I have lost my perspective because I am emotional about it ....BUT We have to care of the elderly, we owe it to them morally, its what separates us from some third world countries
